Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving raw ingredients such as grains, powders, or bulk solids between processing stages.
• Transporting packaged food items from production lines to packing or palletising areas.
• Facilitating the transfer of waste products or by-products in food manufacturing.
• Integrating into automated systems for sorting, weighing, or inspection of food items.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly by design, from a few kilograms per hour for small units to several tonnes per hour for heavy-duty systems.

Power supply

Commonly 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz for motor-driven conveyors, though smaller units may use 230V, 1-phase.

Conveyor belt material

Typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic belting for hygiene and durability in food environments.

Frame material

Often stainless steel (304 or 316 grade) for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning, particularly in wet or washdown areas.

Operating speed

Adjustable, with speeds commonly ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 metres per second, depending on the application and product.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required to ensure operational efficiency and hygiene.

Typical footprint

Highly variable; linear conveyors can range from 1 to over 20 metres in length, with widths from 200mm to 1200mm.
